IRL's mission is to ensure every online match in New York City is a real date for users frustrated of getting ghosted, flaked and never getting asked out on concrete real life plans. WHY IRL IS UNIQUE: 1. Every match is a real-life date at a partnering venue automatically setup by our AI based on a your unique date preferences & availability three days after the match. 2. Mission: To help New Yorkers connect in real life as seamlessly as possible for everything from finding love to a fun cocktail night 3. AI: Our proprietary AI automatically schedules in-person dates for you based on your date preferences and time availability as soon as you match, removing the friction from online to offline interaction transitions. 4. Date Intentionally: By ensuring users enter their instagram handles, limiting likes to 10 per day and allowing up to three dates at a time, we ensure users interact with people they genuinely want to meet in real life and not the inauthentic connections & matches observed on other predominant apps. 5. Differentiated IRL User Profiles: With the vision of ensuring every match on our platform is a real life date, we showcase each person’s unique date vibes, availability, prompts and Instagram handles to showcase people’s overall personality alongside their pictures. 6. Seamless: Easy Online-to-Offline social interaction process to help frustrated users of other dating apps find love in real life. 7. Concierge: We handle everything from the moment two people match, to facilitating a curated, in-person date. Sit back and let IRL do its AI magic and just show up to your scheduled dates. 8. Anti-Ghosting: Ghosting, Flaking, Leading Matches on, etc is sooo old school - the only way to form relationships and solve the loneliness epidemic is to meet in real life & go on dates asap! 9. Statistics: 80% of dating app users have never met anyone off the platforms and those who do, take 150 matches for a single in-person interaction. We aim to change this with every match being an IRL Date - Stop Texting, Start Dating. LOVE IN REAL LIFE. STOP TEXTING, START DATING.
